What a lot of people don’t realize is, it’s not just Planned Parenthood. Most people one would think to be an informed, educated party in regard to the humanity of and nature of the unborn have a financial stake in denying reality for the same reason Planned Parenthood does. Abortion = money.

As on another thread, basic economics: any “service” provider wants to see the demand for their “service” increase. PP provides abortions, so their goal is to increase the demand for abortion. Promiscuity, cheap condoms, and statuatory rape increase demand, while abstinence, adoption, and stable families decrease demand. Sadly this explains PP’s stand on these issues.

Unwanted pregnancies are often called “inconveniences.” I’d like to ask how you respond to something that is indisputably an inconvenience — the telemarketing call.
The reason is my friend, after a lengthy period of unemployment, was offered his old job. He didn’t like the job because it is — yes, you guessed — telemarketing. He is taking it, at least until he can collect Social Security.

“Biased is one thing, misleading is another”
And outright mischaracterizations and lies are yet something else:
– “heart tones”
– “blob of tissue”
– “no, there’s no law against your 27 year old boyfriend getting you, a 15-year old pregnant”

Who Is Jill Stanek?

The “reversals” also show that the ingestion of medication abortion drugs is never a sure thing when it comes to terminating a pregnancy. While anti-abortion activists tout the alleged “high complication rates” of the process, what they conveniently leave out is that the most common complication is that the patient remains pregnant, and that the protocol needs to be followed up with D&C or vacuum aspiration abortion in order to end the pregnancy….

Why is the “reversal” apparently so successful then? Primarily it is because those who are trying to continue the pregnancy are already in the midst of a failed medication abortion to start with….

“There’s no evidence of any demonstrable effect of the ‘treatment’ these anti-abortion centers are marketing,” Dr. Cheryl Chastine, a provider at South Wind Women’s Center in Wichita, Kansas, said. “The medical literature is quite clear that mifepristone on its own is only about 50 percent effective at ending a pregnancy. That means that even if these doctors were to offer a large dose of purple Skittles, they’d appear to have ‘worked’ to ‘save’ the pregnancy about half the time. Those numbers are consistent with what these people are reporting.”

“[The abortion pill] binds much more tightly to the progesterone receptor, to block it than progesterone itself does…. So there really is not much evidence to indicate, I’m really not aware of anything, that by increasing the amount of progesterone you’re gonna somehow block the effect of this drug….

I think this is really outside of standard of care to just begin doing this kind of treatment, without collecting more rigorous studies about its effectiveness.”

Note: The function of mifepristone is to block progesterone receptors (which is why, in an abortion pill reversal, an extra injection of progesterone is given to counteract these effects). Mifepristone “directly causes endometrial decidual degeneration, cervical softening and dilatation, release of endogenous prostaglandins, and an increase in the sensitivity of the myometrium to the contractile effects of prostaglandins. Mifepristone-induced decidual breakdown indirectly leads to trophoblast detachment, resulting in decreased syncytiotrophoblast production of hCG, which in turn causes decreased production of progesterone by the corpus luteum (pregnancy is dependent on progesterone production by the corpus luteum through the first 9 weeks of gestation—until placental progesterone production has increased enough to take the place of corpus luteum progesterone production).”
